WARHAMMER 40,000: CHAOS SPACE MARINES 1

WARHAMMER 40,000 CODEX:

CHAOSSPACEMARINES
Official Update Version 1.2
Although we strive to ensure that our codexes are perfect,
sometimes mistakes do creep in. In addition, we occasionally
print new versions of our rules, which require amendments to be
made in older versions of our codexes. When such issues arise,
we feel that it is important to deal with them as promptly as we
can, and we therefore produce regular updates for all of our
codexes. When changes are made, the version number will be
updated, and any changes from the previous version will be
highlighted in Magenta. Where a version number has a letter,
E.g. 1.1a, this means it has had a local update, only in that
language, to clarify a translation issue or other minor correction.
Each update is split into three sections: Errata, Amendments,
and Frequently Asked Questions. The Errata corrects any
mistakes in the codex, while the Amendments bring the codex
up to date with the latest version of the rules. The Frequently
Asked Questions (or FAQ) section answers commonly asked
questions about the rules. Although you can mark corrections
directly in your codex, this is by no means necessary just keep
a copy of the update with your codex.
